Thanks to Timm Bryant at IBM for supplying this program! The official description is:
| Quote: |
| The WMQI Trace Viewer utility consists of a set of Java classes that provide a graphical user interface to review the output of WMQI’s message flow trace data. This utility was developed using IBM’s VisualAge for Java 4.0. It has been tested on Java version 1.3.1_02 running on Windows 2000. It has not been tested on any other platform. |
Note: It comes with very handy documentation in PDF format
Here's the direct link:

I have since discovered a couple of installation issues that others should be aware of.
1) For installation on a workstation that has only the Control Center installed, you may need to copy the WMQI message properties files. These files are located in the %WMQI_HOME%\messages directory. This directory will contain multiple WMQIv2xx.properties files. If this directory does not exist, or if it does not contain any properties files, copy these files from a machine where a broker is installed.
2) You should ensure that you have the most current version of the MQSeries MA88 SupportPack installed.
3) If you do not have a JDK or runtime environment installed on your machine you may modify the sample TraceViewer.bat file to utilize the JRE that is reshipped with WMQI. To do this change the start of the last line from: start javaw.exe… to start %WMQI_HOME%\jre\bin\javaw.exe… |

I got a 2033 error when I clicked on the extract button. MQRC2033 is MQRC_NO_MSG_AVAILABLE. This error occured on both my PC and another user's PC. We connect to the same Unix server but connect to different brokers. Anyone else got this problem? any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

To be exact, the error was "error waiting for trace response messages. Reason code=2033"
and if you click ok to accept the message, another error comes up.
Broker Configuration error:
Unable to query broker configuration. Ensure that the QM and its listener are running, then cleck the File|Properties menu to ensure proper settings.
The QM and the listener are up and running.

| This error is posted when a configuration request message is sent to the MQSI broker, but a reply is not received within the time specified in the timeout. I can send you a debug version of the utility that will allow you to view the sent/received messages to assist with troubleshooting. Post your e-mail address so I can send it to you. |

| Please be clear in these posts what version of MQSI or WMQI this applies to. IBM'ers tend to play with the latest version - customers have production workloads and tend to have the mature versions (eg 2.0.2). |

Timm,
I know the TraceViewer is not tested against anything other than Win2K, but please be aware that under NT4 sp6a/MQ5.2.1 it fails with 'Exception thrown in getTraceData() method. Setp was: Writing trace data to temporary file. Exception message is: null'.
I hope you are able to produce a version for NT4 - ther's still an awful lot of it about in the user community!
Kind regards -
Cliff |

I don't beleive that the error that you are seeing is Windows O/S dependent. The section of code that reports this error is trying to parse the XML message that is returned from the Broker. I am curious about the MQSI version you are using. It may be that an earlier version of MQSI formats its XML messages slightly differently.
Please let me know what version of MQSI you are using, as well as the specific steps you are trying to perform. Also, if you could send me a copy of the output from the "mqsireadlog" command run against the same broker I could check the code against your output and try to correct any problem. I don't have a copy of NT to test against, but I think we can figure this out without requiring an NT platform. |

Timm,
I was trying out TraceViewer on the last day of a contract in Belgium, so I can't lay my hands on the kit right now. However, I was using MQSI 2.1 CSD 3 broker on AIX 5.something. All I did was to run a debug trace against a little message flow containing MQInput, TivoliMonitor, Compute, TivoliMonitor and MQOutput nodes. None of the nodes contained an error.
Maybe this is just another of the differences in behaviour between platforms? Like the differences in parsing TDS messages, or the structure of the ExceptionList, for example?
Anyway I hope this helps. Kind regards,
Cliff |

In my case I get a
"Could not find the Main class. Program will exit!"
when I run the program
MQ5.3 on XP with SUN Java 1.4.1_03
Any suggestions anyone.
Thanks

Since I ran across this as well
The issues is that TraceViewer was built for xml4j which was shipped with WBIMB
Now WBIMB comes with Xerces so you need to change the reference from
%WMQI_HOME%\classes\xml4j.jar;
to
%WMQI_HOME%\classes\xerces.jar;
in TraceViewer .bat

For my case it is giving

That means that the jar file for the tool itself is not on your classpath.
